The 2014 EDC Cornerstone Awards kicked off Wednesday afternoon (5/21) at Union Station with an outstanding showcase of business contributions in Kansas City, Missouri. Many alumni finalists, leadership from the Economic Development Corporation, city officials, and key business leaders were in attendance, giving attendees an opportunity to learn about Kansas City’s growth and talk with key business people in and around the metro area.

The EDC Cornerstone Awards were established to recognize companies and projects that contribute to the growth of the city’s economy. New construction and redevelopment projects, capital investments and jobs created by these award winning businesses represent the successes that position Kansas City for future growth. We would like to congratulate the ones responsible for so much growth this past year and look forward to their continued growth and success in the future. Here are the 2014 Cornerstone Awards Winners:
